Grace Potter, The Nocturnals - Falling or Flying lyrics

[Grace Potter, The Nocturnals - Falling or Flying lyrics]

We got lost again
Drove to the end of the road
Met a red-faced man
Taught us to do what we're told
And on the twenty-third night
Things ain't bad, but things ain't right

Are we falling or flying?
Are we falling or flying?
Are we living or dying?
I guess we'll never know

The air's so heavy
It could drown a butterfly
If it flew too high
And I get the feeling that
The truck driver ain't shy
Because he's lookin' at me
But nowhere near my eyes
And on the thirty-fifth morning
Things ain't good, but things ain't boring

Are we falling or flying?
Are we falling or flying?
Are we living or dying?

I guess we'll never know
Striking rock or hitting gold

Sometimes it's hard to tell if there's
A life behind a song but, I know tomorrow
Today won't feel so long
Because on the forty-second night
The room was dark, but the stage was bright

Are we falling or flying?
Are we falling or flying?
Are we living, are we dying?
Cause my friend, this too shall pass
So play every show like it's your last
